Hi, I thought it might be a good idea to ask here.
I have a Dell Inspiron Mini 900, it's a pretty run of the mill netbook but since I have it, I want to use it.
However, can't get Windows XP running on that thing, it simply freezes with a black screen with a cursor, Windows 7 will install but since this netbook only has 8GB of storage, the experience is very lackluster.
I've tried various Linux distros to no avail, they work but because of the processor being 32 bit only and its low performance, I can't use very new or heavy software

Does someone has an idea of how to fix the Windows XP issue? Thanks
